no one knows more about the dangers of cyber warfare than my guest tonight, richard clark.s counterterrorism czar under presidents clinton and bush, and he's written numerous books on terror and cyber threats. >>> richard clark, welcome to the program. thanks for joining me from new york. >> good to be back with you, christiane. >> so, just take us to where you were as you must have been watching along with the whole world that press conference in helsinki alongside vladimir putin. and it was an american journalist, two, in fact, who put direct questions to the president and to putin over this highly controversial affair. >> well, what was remarkable about it was he knows that what he was saying isn't true, and he knows we know what he was saying wasn't true. this is not just him talking about tax policy or health care. it's him talking about the fact that america was attacked, its fundamental democracy, its institutions were attacked. and he is now, again, part of a cover up of that fact and it is an a cover up that can't succeed because we all know the facts, most of them

even though richard clark, we just had richard clark, and i know you've had some really interesting discussions with him over the last few weeks. but richard clark just told us, if there is a war between iran and israel or iran and the united states in the next year, people might look back at this overnight tweet as something that contributed to it. >> well, yes. absolutely. but then you have to ask, is there going to be a war? there wasn't one at the height of the worst times between the united states, israel and iran. which is when the world really believed they had some kind of military nuclear program, potentially. it is not an easy thing. we've been through this before with the bush administration, with the then israeli government and with the then iranian government. trying to have a war against iran was considered unfeasible. and that's why the bush administration did not go that route. particularly in the wake of what happened in iraq in 2003. and i can assure you that even american allies in the gulf, whether it's saudi arabia or the uae and others, that is not what they're looking for

richard clark eluded to it. we don't know what was agreed to, russia defined what they said went on in the meeting and trump did make important agreements with vladimir putin. >> he said that he would have known within minutes. is that true? we're now a full week past the meeting with no public disclosure of what was discussed. >> i think it is extreatmently unprecedent unprecedented. it is his own credibility. they can't trust what it is that the president had to tell them about the private two-hour meeting. >> and i just want to go back to politics, i think the president makes a good point. the president is not building a foreign policy visual here. this is diplomacy on the fly. it is destructive. i don't think he has ever had an informed world view. he wants to cast aside anything that he has been inherited in terms of foreign policy, in terms of international norms or america's place in the world. but if he picks up the newspaper, or reads it on his phone and sees his marks, his poll numbers, ticking upward

i don't think our country has done enough 20 years ago i issued the first executive order with richard clark he was working into counterterrorism then we thank him in the book but i read his book and looked in three or four others and talk to a bunch of people to figure out how to put this together and we had a lot of help because we did not want to screw up the technology. well over $700 billion so according to the government figures i could get 15 billion in cybersecurity mac and we really did a lot of research and the president read a lot and reach out to some people who really know what they are doing in one of the viewer said we don't know what we were talking about. [laughter] >> who did we talk to? >> somebody in russia. [laughter] >> we have some great cybersecurity companies here in the d.c. area and virginia but several over the last few years the israelis have gotten as much as one half of all the private capital in the world invested in cybersecurity. and you will see that manifested in this book they are very good at cyberdefense the germans are good because they have been expos

<richard clarke former national coordinator for counter terrorism> "you know i have been very reluctant to come to the conclusion that he's a controlled asset but that's the term that we use." for his part the president says the american people have no reason to worry. "there has never been a president who's as tough on russia as i have been.". (ken) people who deny the holocaust will not be banned from facebook. (ken) in an interview today c-e-o mark zuckerberg said even though he finds the content offensive...he won't ban it. he said the network will only ban offensive content if it's used to organize harm or an attack on someone. his comments sparked criticism from the anti-defamation league. the group said in a statement facebook has a "moral and ethical obligation" to prevent users from using the platform to share holocaust denial. (vicki) papa john's founder john schnatter is now saying it was a "mistake" for him to resign. schnatter stepped down as papa john's chairman last week... after he admitted to using a racial slur during a conference call. since then-- the co

richard clark was with the counterterrorism here and we thank him in the book, but i read his books and i've looked in three or four others and talk to bunch of people to try to figure out how to put this together. we had a lot of help. we did not want to screw the technology up. i think it's crazy. the defense budget spent well over $700 billion. >> according to the latest government figures we spent 15 billion in cyber security. >> one of the funny things, we did a lot of research on the president did read a lot and reached out to people who really know what they're doing. i want your viewers so we didn't know what we're talking about which was weird. i'm just wondering who did the reviewer talk to. >> reporter: somebody in russia. [laughter] >> look, it's not just like that. we have some great cyber security companies here in the d.c. area. but, several of the last few years the israelis have gotten as much as one half of all the private capital in the world. invested in cyber security. you'll see that manifested in this book too. they are very good at cyber defense. the germans are

after a fight broke out before a speech at michigan speech before a black nationalist richard spencer. lewis and clark college in portland. activist disrupted a speech by christina summers at the law school there. and i better -- i don't find her to be a danger. but either way, the purpose they had a scholar at the university engage in dialogue. and even chris rock and jerry seinfeld. the programming committees and other folks. this is slightly different than it was when i was in politics. it's supposed to be different. the question is where do we go from here? how much do students value free speech? how much do students feel threatened by the speakers? what is the best response universities can have on this? these and other challenges. we have -- on just about anything, i welcome their comments and analysis and i'll help with the audience. now, i think on my far left here, alexandria gusman. >> it's like azel. it's like hazel without the h. >> okay. she graduated at the university of texas at austin. she was elected the 2017 and 2018 student body president. the first latino president at the universit

. >> commissioner richards: we did one, ms. miss clark. we did talk about this already when we heard the draft e.i.r. that was how many months ago? january? this is six months now. i kind of expected to have the project come back at least with another call on this that says here is the project and here is the project alternative and here is a partial preservation alternative with the four units that are allowed by zoning but we could actually do 21 units, or whatever it is and here is a full preservation alternative on what we could do. is adding two more columns to show us what i believe would be the possibility, you know, i think david winslow could probably do it or mr g. could do it or anybody could do it like they did on for 30 main. i want to understand what it could be. but what we got is zoning compliance -- compliancy for four units under each one of those units for 3,000 square feet. the partial preservation alternative gives you more square footage than the actual current project. so i'm very disappointed that we are still here

richards: ok. i mean, i agree with clark here. we hate seeing these kinds of neighbor on neighbor things and who said this, and who said that, at my petition. we are looking at what is before us. it is a project that adds dormers. does it make the standards and guidelines? the answer i got was yes. so i will wait for some other commissioners. i am leaning towards accepting the project as is. >> commissioner moore? >> commissioner moore: i would like to ask the city attorney. as a commission, we are interested in established neighborhood guidelines. however, when staff evaluates them, they do have to calm and balance with the rest of the neighborhood consideration. is that correct? i can't hear you. >> commissioner richards: can you turn on the mic? >> commissioner moore: neighborhood guidelines do not trump other considerations, correct? >> that is correct. >> commissioner moore: i think that is an important thing. neighborhood guidelines are augmented for residential guidelines and i think we are all sensitive to them. when staff

the leader of the house, that is richard green speaking just now, but earlier ken clarke was suggesting it from all sides. last night trying to quell a rebellion from her brexiteer backbenchers, she caved in and accepted their amendments only to get a rebellion from her remain backing mps. it seems like the clews deal, agreed not even two weeks ago at the prime minister‘s country residence, supposed to be the compromise plan today to brussels, is now in serious jeopardy. there compromise plan today to brussels, is now in seriousjeopardy. there is a bill going through the commons, another piece of bread that legislation. these pieces of legislation. these pieces of legislation have been used by rival camps within the tory party and by opposition mps to try and tinker with the government‘s brexit strategy and today is no different. the trade bill, we expect that to be another parliamentary running over brexit and the strategy ahead. the remainders had tabled amendments to this, they looked like they were prepared to abandon those amendments once the chequers deal has come out, but not so

richards: we're only taking up the matter for 21 wants. >> i agree with the continuance. there are a number of issues. >> president hillis: all right, ms. clarke. >> i don't agree with the continuance, though i understand that i will completely lose. i think that this is an example of there being a lack of harmonization in the code. the setbacks are arbitrary. we'll need to clean this up and make universal rules that apply everywhere so planners are not faced with bizarre, legislation that is not compatible. long-term to avoid these total-owned goals in california, we'll need to harmonize our planning code and create rules. >> commissioner richards: speak to the continuance, thank you. >> president hillis: any other comment? seeing none, commissioner richards. >> commissioner richards: move to continue to july 26. >> second. >> clerk: on that motion to continue this matter to july 26 -- [roll call] so moved. motion passes unanimously 5-0. places us on item 9, for 2018-006287pca, affordable housing projects on undeveloped lots in the sali districts, planning keyed amendment. >> good afternoon. i believe that bobby lopez from supervisor kim's of
